Rocking Horse Rocker

The 'Rocker' rocking horse designed by Nipa Doshi and Jonathan Levien is a great addition to the new collection of children's furniture from Richard Lampert.

This plastic hourglass-shaped body rests simply on two wooden runners, providing hours of rocking fun, and, at the same time, producing a wonderful design object.

Many things of interest to young children are not figurative but simply everyday objects that are not intended for play! Children find their own imaginative purpose for any object already in the home. This observation prompted Doshi Levien to create a 'Rocker' that is like a found object, an improvised ride.

Doshi Levien is a London based design office, established in 2000.
